The AI in GalCiv2 didn't get events AFAIK, and also had special rules for tech trades. I don't think Brad would categorize the latter as cheating, but it was maddening at times because it made no sense.
Besides the 64-bit OS? Basically if a laptop can run LH, and is on Windows 7, should it be expected to be able to run GalCiv III?
[quote who="TheJaker" reply="4" id="3404781"] I'm surprised that Stardock still gets guff about Elemental. People who pre-ordered Elemental end up getting an insanely good deal at the end. I was disappointed with the original game but FE and especially LH are excellent.[/quote] A successful GalCiv III launch will shut up the folks who still spout off over War of Magic- I can't see a scenario where Brad would allow a sub-par GalCiv III to be released, and n
The ethics system really does need to be revamped. Not being able to lock in ethics is a must. Being good or evil needs to have legitimate consequences.
The colony rush made sense given the game's lore. One weird solution off the top of my head- powerful mid-game buildings that have a drawback of adding unrest of other planets in your empire when you build them (maybe even distance based). Maybe economic/military capitals could work like this. So tall empires would benefit from the buildings, wide empires would have a drawbacks. Another alternative would be to have capitals p
I'd like to see the $99 option be kept until official release. One of my friends is currently buying a house, wants the $99 game, but his fiancee won't let him- she needs the money for knitting Daleks. ^_^ (she's a really sweet person so I don't mind, and it's for a good cause) It might take him a while, but he wants the $99 option as he thinks that is the best value.
I want something in between doing nothing, and tactical combat. I'd like to see something Ogre Battle-esque where you give a general order or two, then you do the tactical combat. Stuff like target flagship, or target weak ships, or do the most damage possible. I think that's the happy medium, and it's something the AI can manage as well. I do want to see more toys than just the three basic weapons th
That is something I wish Stardock did. the Mount and Blade games and Dungeons of Dredmor do this as well.
I'd love to see at the end of development of a Stardock game, for physical versions to be made to order that are 100% DRM-free via flash drive or disc. That said, MP will require Steam (it's probably the reason we're getting MP in GalCiv III at all)
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="6" id="3404829"] Quoting Nathan E, reply 4 Not to flame you but why are you asking for a non-Steam version? Your asking for Stardock to spend probably significant effort on something that 99% of their users wouldn't utilize. Not every Stardock-customer (or gamer in general) likes Steam, and would prefer to see an alternative. I'm one of them. Will I use Steam for this game? Yes, but only because I love this series and want to
